PETER B. SWEENEY.
Felix McCloskey was witness again Thursday
In the case before Judge Lawrence in New York,
IN which Mary Maud Watson is trying to break
the Will OF her grandfather, John Anderson, the
tobaccOnist. Mr.. Curtis asked the witness whether
Peter B. Sweeney had told him that he Sweeney
would not nominate John Anderson for mayor be-
cause Anderson was crazy; that Anderson had
offered him Sweeney $780, 900 for the nomination
OF himself for mayor, and 500 900 for the nominal
ton or George c. Barnard, his Son-in-law for gov
ernOr. The question was ruled out. McClOskey
was also prevented from telling whether Sweeney
said that the Mary Rogers scandal would defeat
Anderson, and that Anderson was crazy upon
the subject. Mr.. McCloskey was not allowed to
answer question as TO whether he had been told
by John Anderson that he had given Edgar Allan
Poe % 600 to write the "Mystery OF Marie Roget "
In order to alay the suspicion That Anderson nur-
dered Mary Rogers. Judge Lawrence refused to
direct verdict for the defendant, and the case
was summed up yesterday.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
Permit the writer, by the aid Of your valuable

in charge that hallowed spot, Mount Vernon, to
remind them of a conspicuous absence Of some
objects that belong to the mansion. Visiting
Washington nifty years ago. and making Pilgrim
age there the very year Q837 that the remains of
Gen. Washington were removed from the old vault
to their present resting place, the mansion was as
remembered. very much as it is to-day. access
being had TO the several rooms freely. Over the
doorways In the main hail. also in the story above
were placed deers dntLeys, said to be those OF an
imals shot by Washington himself. Paying an
other visit there few days since, not one was to
be seen-all gone! Evidently the woodwork over
the doors was arranged for this very purpose,
and probably planned by Washington himself
determined effort would most likely result in
their being obtained, replaced where they belong,
and forever remain as most interesting trophies OF
the skill OF our beloved Washington. The large
painting In the banaaetng hall representing
Peale, recalled wildly to my mind the visit OF La
fayette IN 1924 TO our country, whom saw, with
his son, George Washington Lafayette, that year
at Utica, n. Y. AS well as that, knew personally
